Inclusionists and Radqueers
(quick note, I use the term "queer community" instead of "lgbtq+ community")
I think that many people need to know the difference between inclusionists and radqueers because a surprising amount of people don't.
One of the main differences is that inclusionists know the difference between valid, good-faith terminology and bad-faith, troll terminology, while radqueers do not (or don't care). This means that both inclusionists and radqueers accept communities such as xenogenders, neopronouns, a-specs (asexual spectrum, and aromantic spectrum), m-specs (multigender spectrum), and m-specs (multi-sexual/attraction spectrum) as valid parts of the queer community. However, radqueers take this many leaps further by accepting (harmful) xenogenders, (harmful) neopronouns (usually nounself pronouns based on sensitive topics or offensive words), and just generally harmful terms (e.g. transracial*, z00philes, pokesexual, MAPs), as a part of the queer community.
This again, is one of the largest differences between inclusionists and radqueers. Many inclusionists understand the harm radqueers cause the queer community, and do not associate themselves with them due to this fact.
*since writing this I have learned more about the origins of the term transracial, and when I say transracial I am not referring to transracial adoptees, I am talking about the people most people think of when they hear the word transracial.
